CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: PHIL HAMMER Thursday, October 12, 1933 Another Loss To the University ' The death of Dr. Walter Dallam Toy has come as a distinct shock to all those who knew him, whether personally or in the classroom, and. in his passing away we perceive a tragedy whose regret is shared not alone by his family, but by everyone connected with this University. For during the half century that Dr. Toy was a mem ber of the faculty, his interest and influence was felt in its every department, and his person ality by everyone who came in contact with him. ' It is of no consequence for us to reiterate here his life-time of acWeyement his cultural ideals, ljis educational work, and his scholarly contri butions ta the world of thought. These are self evident, and his reward comes not in our in consequent appreciation, but in his endeavor for its own sake. We offer a tribute to him, which though often lightly used, is, when sincerethe expression of an ideal that Dr. Toy exemplified to us in the highest sense. In all sincerity, we shall remember him as a splendid example of a gentleman and a scholar. A.T.D. Duty Calls - 1 From Two Sides I I The President, Dr. Frank Graham, and through him the University, has been tendered a signal fionor. Dr. Graham has just been offered the post of head of the educational bureau of the NRA. The fact that our President's work has thus won national recognition should not come as a surprise to anyone on this campus. But, the offer itself is an empty honor. It is the fact that it puts Dr. Graham in a position to be of service to one hundred and thirty mil lion people that makes the offer one of great ness, Will Dr. Graham be able, to accept it? His absence from the University, if even only a temporary one, will come as a great loss to all of us. His presence here : is undoubtedly necessary for the welfare of the University. But, in the same measure, his leadership is needed if the NRA is to be a complete success. The decision is squarely up to the trustees of the University and to Dr. Graham himself. What is he to do? But,' no matter what course he takes, whether it is to remain here or go to Washington, he may rest assured that the stu dents of the University will stand squarely in back-of him, abiding by his decision, k content in the knowledge that the course taken is the best. M.K.K.: . SPEAKING 7 ' the CAMPUS MIND Shirt-Sleeves Taboo! , Student Entertainment programs are among the best-attended events in the . student year. The committee arranging, for. these programs makes every effort to secure the best possible entertainment for.the benefit of the students. But past performances have proven the fact that not all Carolina students" are gentlemen. Various demonstrations from time to time, whistles, catcalls, and paper airplanes, conven iently constructed from the programs, have -dis tracted the attention of both artists and audi ence from the performance. , In Membriarhall, where the acoustics are bad, and where' the stage usually leaves much to be desired in the matter of scenic background, the artists labor under dif ficulties enough, without beihg affronted "by in attention on the -part of their- audience. Playmaker Personality V In the casting of Paul Green's "House of Con nelly," the directors chose only one character who was a Playmaker last year Walter Terry in the part of the idiot boy. All the rest of the large cast were selected from material new to the University and the Playmakers. ; This is indicative of many things. First,, it breaks down the criticism that many t have of fered that to obtain a part in a Playmaker pro duction, one must be "on the inside," as it were. Many have complained that the Playmakers was too exclusive an organization and that un less all time was devoted to them, there was no chance ever to become a part of them. Many who were cast for the characters in the "House of Connelly" have no connection with the Play makers, and all except the one, are new here or new to the Playmakers. , Secondly, this casting proves that the fame and influence of the Playmakers .are rapidly spreading.' Its fame has attracted many drama lovers here from other states ; its influence has developed within the state a love for drama which is demonstrated by the innumerable dra matic clubs in the high and preparatory schools of the state. A few years ago there was practically no in terest in the drama among high school students in fact, no official organization in the Univer sity. - Since the advent of the Playmakers, in terest has spread so much "throughout jthe estate that every year more and more capable students come here prepared to take an active part in the Playmakers. Most of the cast chosen for the "House of Con nelly" have played on the Playmakers boards during the dramatic festivals in the spring. The sponsoring of these festivals by the Playmakers, as well as the productions and tours which are made every year, is doing much to develop within North Carolina in the United States, in fact- such an interest in; all. drama as will build a nation of drama lovers and appreciators. C.G.T. Herculean Hitler In a recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly, a denouncement, just, though withering, reviews Adolf Hitler's autobiography, "Mem Kampf." The book lays bare Hitler's beliefs, his dreams, his loves and hates, which are elaborated in ex haustive detail of some 250,000 words. As might be expected, Hitler intends to enforce his prin ciples, not by argument, but by force. The book even states that the author proposes the sub jugation of certain foreign territory, the near est and best suited being Poland and central and southern Russia.- Hitler does not mince his words while- stating the future program of the German Republic: Hitler intends to bring Great Britain, Italy, and Germany together as allies, none of whom wish to see France the greatest military power in Europe. As is the case in most German territory, mili tarism is made the prime factor in the growth of the German Republic. Naturally, Germany insists, as she always has, that a heavy arma ment is necessary to protect interests at home and abroad. Germany, at this moment, has per haps the largest: standing army in the world; it is not a well-known fact that Germany has enough airplanes, machine guns, poison gas, and ammunition stored to practically annihilate a large part of the civilized world. Must we, who are a part of a so-called civilized, democratic country, sit by ! and watch the growing possi bilities of a destruction of the civilized world by an army of Huns,: as fierce, intolerant; and ruthless as those led by Attila, the "scourge of Without Honor in Your Own Land As a senior member of the Order of the Grail and one who has continually done his best to further the interests and raise the rather questionable prestige of the Order, I hereby register a firm protest against the sign ing of an outside orchestra to furnish - music for; the Grail dances when a suitable one from our own students can be pro cured... . As I understand it, the funda mental purpose of this our noble order is to foster a better spirit of co-operation and relation be tween fraternity arid non-fraterr nity men on the campus. The Grail has addressed itself to the problem of furnishing social con tact for these two groups through the informal dance "at a maintenance cost only." The Grail has carried out its policy successfully, financially as well as socially. In fact the Or der's finances have been the source of most of the favorable comment it might have received. Other struggling organizations have received aid from the Grail easily because the money was there and, except for the pur chasing of some trophies and one freshman scholarship, no definite use has been made of the group's finances. I, of course, am aware that in one sense of the word, .the Grail is a going concern and must meet their obligations in the putting on of any dance. Nevertheless, I fail absolutely to see any sense or necessity at all in the policy of leaving our own campus for the purpose of importing some second- or third-rate band to play for. our functions when we Shave several? orchestras right here, composed of our own stu dents which are just as good, or in many cases far better than the outsiders. ? The personnel of our local bands are made up of Carolina students who are almost entirely nbn - fraternity men working their way through school. I re iterate forcefully how seemingly absurd it strikes me that the Qrail should overlook these or chestras and haul one over from Duke or State or anywhere else, thereby helping outside students to the sacrifice of our own schoolmates. ; It's true that we employed Archie Davis for the first dance, but is one bite of an apple suf- An Indiana professor thinks, the typical pres entrday American .is incapable of discussing noli tics.

Everyone liked Davis music and there are other bands here that would go over also. Instead, we import one from Duke for this week's fracas. The Duke band may Be good and two members of the Grail may have gone all the way to Durham to hear them before signing the contract, but I am asking anyone to show me any instance in the past three years where Duke students or organ izations have taken one of our bands for a local function. Ofiicials of the club say that we need different bands in order to attract crowds. Ah, there is the sting. The original purpose is entirely forgotten and in its place comes the shadow of the itching palm. . Money, Money, Money, co-operation between fraternity and non-fraternity groups is forgotten. No, I am not the booking agent of any of the local musi cians. I simply fail to see the use of "hiding our lights under a .bushel" when they have worked with us as conscienti ously as they. have. If, as in the past, any of our local units fail to co-operate with the Grail, then the time would be right to get an outsider. In closing l mignt also add that the Grail missed an excellent opportunity to give the student body a fur ther chance of hearing and danc ing to the new songs by employ, ing some band which hasn't got the music for the Kyser songs. To me it seems like treason among King Arthur's noble knights. Claiborn M. Carr. Bail?
